TPAC liaison meetings and unconf day

Sorry about that. An inadvertent emacs keystroke from within mail
client resulted in premature send.

I hope all who intend to attend TPAC have registered by now. If you
have any difficulties or questions please ask on call or by email.

https://www.w3.org/2018/10/TPAC/

I have invited a few observers from companies we would like to see
involved in our activity, do please share suggestions and make any
necessary introductions accordingly.

I started a wiki page for agenda topics, feel free to propose by email
or add to the wiki and we will finalize later.

The BG is meeting on Tuesday with the main focus being the data task
force. As the BG is an incubator for our activity, any potential
automotive standardization areas people are interested in exploring can
be introduced as well. 

Wednesday is the Plenary Day, an unconference. You can see proposed
topics at the following wiki and make suggestions of your own.

https://www.w3.org/wiki/TPAC/2018/SessionIdeas

On our call last week we discussed some desired liaisons with other
groups and individuals and I said I would look over schedule to see
which W3C groups will be there.

https://www.w3.org/2018/10/TPAC/schedule.html

Some pertinent ones from my read, again feel free to make additional
suggestions including topics you would like to discuss with them so we
can communicate them in our invitation. We may have sessions with both
full groups, send or receive a few delegates or declined if their
agenda is too full.

I am not seeing Schema.org people meeting nor specific individual who
is often at these as registered. I will try to find some SemWeb geeks
in attendance who can join us on Tuesday. The Privacy IG isn't meeting
but some individuals will be around and will try to invite a couple. I
will share details with the group on upcoming the Privacy UI workshop
as I feel it would be quite useful for capturing consent.

* Devices and Sensors WG

Those who were at the Sapporo F2F will remember how Tobie Langel led us
 through a discussion on whether our earlier WebIDL approach was the
right one for our needs and encouraged us to consider representing
vehicles as a collection of sensors. While we deemed collection of
sensors not best suited for our purposes, the resulting thought
exercises brought us to a service based approach and decision to
abandon the browser centric one.

Technical Architecture Group (TAG)

We had a couple people, Daniel Appelquist and Hadley Beeman, join us in
Burlingame. It may be wise to bring them or others in for v2 discussion
on Thursday. We also have a pending review of VISS that they may want
more input on.
 
Web Authentication WG

Since authentication is a piece we identified as something we want to
cover for v2, it would make sense to see if we can get a few people
from this group to join us.

Web Payments WG
Web Commerce IG

The is the less technical, more strategic compliment to Web Payments
who we would be more likely to meet with of the two. Similar to our BG.

We have met with the corresponding Interest Group in the past,
including Burlingame, as we were exploring applying their solution to
automotive use cases. That task force covered feasibility and
identified some gaps (eg initiating communication to vehicle through
NFC, BT beacon, other) that would either need to be standardized but
did not succeed in gathering momentum. We had a major payment provider,
and potentially a second, express interest in doing a proof of concept
provided we had a willing OEM. Until an OEM steps up, Ian and I decided
to shelve this task force. As such I think we should not seek a meeting
with them this TPAC.
  
Web Real-Time Communications WG

WebRTC is what provided browser capability to the WebEx instance we use
so a separate client isn't needed. It is used by a growing number of
other teleconferencing systems. Besides VoIP teleconferencing and
screen sharing, it covers data streaming capabilities and may be worth
looking at based on streaming conversation last week. With increased
reliability and bandwidth of 5G, it might be interesting to apply to
automotive for teleconferencing and user support among possibly other
use cases.

Linked Building Data CG

We are not getting into Smart Cities and v2i explicitly but that would
be our intersection for that group. There are some discussions about
forming a standards activity at W3C around Smart Cities but it is still
early on.

JSON-LD WG

For handling writes back in JSON.

Web of Things WG/IG

We have met with them in the past as we have multiple mutual interests.

HTTPS in Local Network CG

Junichi from KDDI led a Plenary Day unconference sessions at the Lisbon
TPAC which resulted in the forming of this group. Handling and
verifying LAN certificates This might be more a group to follow or we
might want to see if we can get an update on their activity and ensure
our needs don't differ from what they are working on.
